High Quality Snow Sculpture Can Be Enjoyed -Nayoro Winter Festival-

February 14th, 2015

Nayoro Winter Festival (なよろ雪質日本一フェスティバル) is a snow event held in Nayoro city located between Asahikawa city and Wakkanai city and was held in 1952 for the first time. It is held only for 3 days in mid February. There are a large snow sculpture of Jibanyan (ジバニャン * Yo-Kai Watch) with snow slide and small snow sculptures made by Nayoro citizen in the site when I visited here in 2015. Nayoro has a base for Japan Ground Self-Defense Force, Self-Defense Forces have been in charge of the production, administration and management of the large snow sculpture since the old days. I had a member of Self-Defense Forces play in old days, but that do not still change. Children looked like their's having fun playing.

International Snow Sculpting Competition (国際雪像彫刻大会) that the people from 6 countries participate in is held, too. All works are molding such as an art, and adults can enjoy snow sculptures, too. Including the snow sculpture made by Nayoro citizen, the qualities of the snow sculptures are high probably because it is good quality snow. In addition, Winter Marche (ウィンターマルシェ) that local gourmets of various places in Hokkaido can be eaten is held, too. There is no parking lot in the site. But there are parking lots in the downtown.
